Facial Fillers in Spokane WA

As we get older, the supply of hyaluronic acid, elastin, and collagen in the body starts to decrease. This can lead to volume loss, lines, and wrinkles in the face. Each of these compounds contributes to creating a youthful look with supple skin that has a natural beauty. Facial fillers can restore some of the volume lost with age, smooth over lines and wrinkles, and create a natural-looking, youthful result.

Also known as dermal fillers, facial fillers often contain natural hyaluronic acid. It binds with water and can create an additional layer of moisture within the skin. Soft tissue fillers can help correct facial scarring and deeper grooves in the face. These fillers can be used across all areas of the face, including the temples, cheeks, lips, mouth, nose, and eye area. Sometimes they are even used to plump aging hands.

Who Is the Right Candidate for Facial Fillers?

Many people want to address visible signs of aging in the eye, jawline, lips, cheeks, and forehead areas. However, they may not be ready for a more involved procedure such as a blepharoplasty or a facelift. If you fall into this category, facial fillers are a great alternative. They can help rejuvenate your appearance without the downtime.

Before you begin, you should be both mentally and physically healthy. You also need to have a realistic understanding of what your results will look like. Facial fillers can renew and refresh your facial appearance but you’re not going look like a teenager again. If you are breastfeeding or pregnant, you won’t be eligible for facial fillers.

What to Expect After Having Facial Fillers

Once you have a session for facial fillers, you can leave our Spokane office immediately as there is no recovery required. Patients may experience some mild discomfort, bruising, and swelling at the injection sites. These side effects normally only last for a few days.

Over-the-counter painkillers and a cold compress will help to relieve any discomfort you experience. It’s important to stay away from long periods in the sun or extreme temperatures until any redness and swelling have gone down. It’s also essential to avoid exercising or drinking alcohol for the rest of the day after treatment. Vitamin E, aspirin, and Advil should also be avoided for 24 hours.
